"Can you believe it? I sold the kiddie pool, that stupid lamp from 'the leader's living room, our old comforter and matching sheets, Sasuke's report cards, and that set of dishes we don't use anymore." Itachi was thrilled with his sales, and he was dripping wet from demonstrating the kiddie pool.
"You know the only reason we stopped using those dishes is because Kisame painted the kitchen and the dishes didn't match anymore." Sasori said.
"Yeah, it's a good thing Mikasa was having a sale the week he painted. Deidara and I got a steal price on those new ones." Itachi said.
"Okay, so we've made $2231.00 and we're going to stay here for three more hours, right, seriously?" Hidan asked. "You know, I prayed this morning that this yard sale would go well, really." He added.
"Yeah, three more hours and then we'll leave a note for the 'the leader', go home and change clothes and head out to T.G.I. Fridays." Zetsu said. Overall, with the exception of Kabuto's visit, everyone was pleased with his year's yard sale.
"And you know I'm on tonight, you know my hips don't lie and I'm starting to feel its right, yeah."
"Deidara…if you don't stop singing that to me I swear I'm going to tear the tongues out of your hands!" Kisame seldom lost patience with Deidara (probably because Kisame made it a point to stick Itachi with Deidara as much as possible) but Deidara had been singing Shakira medleys to Kisame for the past 15 minutes while refolding clothes.
"You're no fun Kisame, yeah. See, this why you're stressed all the time, yeah."
"Because I don't sing Shakira hits to others?" Kisame asked dryly.
"No, because you don't ever listen to the radio, yeah." The customer who had pulled up had their radio blaring and Deidara was trying to get Kisame to sing with him…but he wouldn't do it.
The family had gotten out of the car and immediately the father spotted something he simply had to have.
"Hey, how much for the painting of the surfing bowl of fruit?"
"$7.00, yeah." Dediara told him. And so Deidara sold the ridiculous painting ('the leader's' wife had painted it in her beginner oil paints class. Deidara loved making fun of her lack of talent).
"Wow! Is this a stack of bath towel? How much do you boys want for these?" the woman had hit gold.
"Oh those aren't any bath towel, those are 100 Egyptian Cotton Ralph Lauren, Nautica, Kenneth Cole, and The Hotel Collection bath towels. Call it…the towel sampler pack." My Itachi had a way with words…
"Now, why would you boys want to sell these, they are so plush!" the woman was examining the stack of 13 bath towels.
"Well, we replaced ours with some trendier colors." Itachi told her, taking one out of the stack to dry his still wet hair.
"I'll take them!" The woman was elated and handed Itachi $10.00. However, only a few moments later she discovered the wretched pot holders that Sasori had brought from the kitchen, they looked diseased and half of them were burned from where Deidara always left them on the stove. "I'll take these pot holders! They're delightful!" Itachi figured this woman was nuts to want to buy the pot holders, one was a pod of grapes, one was an orange square (well was before it was burned), one was a circle made to look like a ladybug, one was plaid, there was a purple one, a frog shaped one, of course a shark one, a daisy one and an apple one. Itachi took $3.00 from her and still wondered why she wanted those horrid things.
"Hey why does this Twister board smell like vodka?" The father asked ( his kids told him it smelled funny). Itachi and Deidara laughed.
"Oh….yeah about that, yeah. Well, we were really drunk the last time we played Twister, yeah."
"Oh well, okay. Um…did you know there is a bikini in the box?" Itachi and Deidara looked at the man and then at each other.
"Oh my god…no wonder that girl never called me back! God, she's been missing that for like what…6 months…she probably thought I kept it on purpose." Itachi paused. Deidara had agreed with everything he said. "You know, I'll give you that Twister game for $1.00 if you take the bikini with it and if anyone asks…you didn't get that from us." Itachi told him.
"Sweet! We'll play this at our next family reunion!" the man was delighted.
"Should we tell him that he may want to wash that first, yeah?" Deidara whispered.
"Shut up!" Itachi demanded.
"This…is...GORGEOUS!" what the woman was referring to was an in table that used to sit in 'the leaders' study. It was ugly as ugly could get. She bought it for $13.00.
Well, by the end of the yard sale somehow Kakuzu had taken control of the money once again. It had been a successful day and Zetsu was out in the yard trying as hard as he could to pull the sign out. The grand total for the day was $2687.00. Soon, 'the leader' would be returning with new patio furniture. It was time to head back to the apartment and celebrate with dinner at T.G.I. Friday's
Okay everyone…that's all for the yard sale. However, get ready for the next story Akatsuki Camping Trip. Thanx to Katie for the suggestion! I'm glad everyone likes my Akatsuki stories. I should have the first chapter posted very soon! Much Love AkiraDawn
